The squirrels of Grand Canyon might be cute. But they'll beg. They'll steal. They'll bite. They'll do anything to get what you want. So don't trust them. Don't approach them. And don't give them anything—or they might take everything. - BM

“We made our way to the very edge of the cliff and looked down. We could hear the water dashing, splashing and roaring as if angry at the small space through which it was forced to pass.” ― Sallie Hester #Arizona #GrandCanyon #EarthFocus #River

Limestone layers equate to shallow sea environments, sandstone layers mean sandy beaches or dunes, while shale layers translate to mud flats, swamps, or coastal plains. How do we know all this? The rocks tell us, through their fossils, mineral grains, and structures.
